Wonderful Family Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip trolling/sharks on August 7, 20254 adults4 children
Our Family joined the Stelluna and crew for a (6) hour trip while on vacation and had a great fishing trip. We had young children aboard as well as grandparents and everyone enjoyed the outing. We caught bait fish, snapper, reef fish, amberjack, tuna, and a Shark! We released those that we were unable to keep, but brought home plenty of fish to have a local restaurant cook up, even after a dolphin and shark took a few of our catches right off our lines! We would definitely recommend a trip on the Stelluna as the Captain, crew, and boat all provided a wonderful experience we will all remember.
Reported catch:
Vermilion Snapper

4 Hour Trip Kids Trolling&Shark - 12:30 PM on June 25, 202510 adults3 children
So my parents (80s) came onboard with them splitting their time between the air-conditioned cabin and the back deck. Capt Judah and Kaiden helped her both getting on and off the boat. My generation (3 of 5) split our time between watching from inside the air-conditioned cabin and hands-on fishing. The youngsters (20s-30s) stayed on the back deck fishing, the ENTIRE time. The BEST part was watching my parents beam with pride and joy at the multi-generations on-board. Mom is in her later years and knows the "end is nigh" so watching her smile and enjoy being with her kids and grandchildren and their spouses is a memory that the kids will remember for a LONG time. Her grandchildren also enjoyed spending time with their grandparents. Kaden kept us all baited and taught us how to reel in. He expertly fileted the fish which we ate the following night. I would do this trip anytime I am back in Destin. Many, many thanks to Capt Judah and Kaden for their hospitality and experience.
